The Drop: New PlayStation Games for 8/4/2015

What’s better than a highly maneuverable, awesomely destructive spaceship? Easy: a spaceship that can also turn into a battle mech. Anime fans, rejoice. Galak-Z: The Dimensional is launching this week, and it’s bringing sweet, sweet space battles to your PS4.

Galak-Z puts players into the cockpit of a versatile spacecraft with a host of powerful weapons. Fortunately, that craft can also transform on the fly into a devastating mech with a whole new repertoire of abilities. Dodge enemy fire, boost through asteroid fields, and complete brutal missions in this love letter to the mecha anime of yore.

But that’s not all! Also up for grabs this week is the poignant and melancholic Submerged on PS4. Explore a sunken city in search of supplies — and salvation. Or fend off attacking hordes in The Castle Game, inspired by the legends of the tower defense genre.

For a full list of games coming to PlayStation, read on. And enjoy the Drop!

Comments

Don’t know if anyone has mentioned this in comments before mine, but now that PlayStation has become so irrefutably dominant and we have all these new people joining our family on a daily basis, I think it’s time Sony re-launches PlayStation Home as a PS4 game. Port that whole thing, import our avatars and saves and items.

Any word regarding the Monopoly Plus My Little Pony DLC? It was originally supposed to have come out months ago and now it’s listed on xbox live as coming out this tuesday, so will we see it on PSN the same day? It’s incredibly difficult to contact Ubisoft about this.

hey Ryan, do you know how long is Submerged take to complete game ? will it have platinum trophy too ? i can’t wait to play it and Everyone’s gone to the rapture too until Until Dawn and Madden 16 release on same day. Go Hayden Panetterie in Until Dawn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ryan, question about the Play 20 promotion. I already bought journey on ps3 so I own the ps4 verson. If I preorder everybody goes to the rapture will that count as 2 purchases netting me a 10% off coupon?

You know what the reason for the cancellation of the Vita version was? The developer said that Vita could not handle it. yet it can handle Bastion, Resident Evil 2, Gravity Rush, Ninja Gaiden and others.

Sweet! Rainbow Moon was awesome in so many ways. On the Vita it didn’t take up much memory space, reasonably priced, hours of content, and every time I felt invincible I soon got my backside handed to myself. Can’t wait!

Are you my doppelganger?! Haha. I platinumed Rainbow Moon on ps3 years ago, before I even owned a vita, but bought the vita version just to support East AsiaSoft. I’ve been waiting years for Rainbow Skies, it’s been excruciating! I know it’s going to be amazing though, because they actually put full effort into their vita games. If you haven’t tried Soldner X2, you should check it out. Its in native resolution, runs at 60 fps and looks amazing.

I must say, I don’t like the Drop new format with bullet lists for the games without any description or images. I have to search every game to see what they are about. A small description of the game and its genre it belongs to would be much appreciated.

I wouldn’t be so quick to call the dev disingenuous (or uninformed) with their claims. This game may have simple enough graphics, but the AI is purportedly spectacular, and this may be more than the CPU of the Vita can handle without large compromises.

Omega Quintet got, four weeks ago, a sale price of $25 and this week for PLUS members at $42, now… Could it be possible for it to be on sale in the upcoming weeks for like $25 again? I really want that game, but since the $25 sale, I don’t want to pay $60. Dx

Hi Ryan – can you inform someone that Yugioh Legacy of the duelest isn’t in the new game section, it only shows up if you search “Yug” under the Yugioh episodes & movie. The update Friday was a small one so maybe by Tuesday it’ll be in the new game section. I know some ppl had a hard time finding it the past few days.
